whip, possibly causing personal injury or property
damage.
WARNING: Wear safety goggles at all times when
working with pumps.
WARNING: When possible, connect the pump
DIRECTLY to a grounded, GFCI outlet. Extension
cords may not deliver sufficient voltage to the pump
motor. Extension cords present a life-threatening
safety hazard if the insulation becomes damaged or
the connection ends fall into water. If using 25 ft.
extension cord, use 16-gauge wire or thicker. If
using a 50 ft. cord, use 14-gauge wire or thicker.
WARNING: Protect the electrical cord from sharp
objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid
kinking the cord. Do not use damaged or worn
cords.
WARNING: Never operate this pump unless it is
placed on a solid foundation. Do not suspend the
pump by the discharge hose or power cord. Keep
the pump intake clear.
WARNING: Ensure that the electrical circuit to the
pump is protected by a 15-amp minimum fuse or
circuit breaker.
WARNING: Release all pressure and drain all water
from the system before servicing any component.
CAUTION: Know the pump and its applications,

corrosion-resistant materials. It will provide trouble-
free service for many years when properly used and
maintained. However, inadequate electrical power
to the pump, or blockage by ice, dirt, or debris may
cause the pump to fail. Please carefully read the
manual and follow the instructions regarding
common pump problems and remedies.
IMPORTANT: This pump is not intended for use in
sewage or septic systems. Doing so will void
warranty.
IMPORTANT: This pump is not intended to be used
as a permanently installed sump pump. Use as a
sump pump will void the warranty.

Operation
1
Placing the pump
2
Operating the pump
□ Set the pump (A) on a solid foundation (hard floor,
board, paver, or other hard surface) to prevent it
from tipping over. Make sure the hose is as
straight as possible.
NOTE: Place the pump in the lowest spot of where
the water is collected, and make sure water slopes
to the pump. If the pump is higher than other areas
of water, the pump will not move the water. You can
also move water to the pump with a push broom or
large squeegee.
NOTE: Do not coil or kink the hose.
□ Plug the pump (A) into a GFCI outlet.
□ When there is at least 1-1/2 in. of water around
the pump, the float switch will be raised, turning
the pump on.
□ When water is pumped down to approximately 1/8
in., the pump will run for an additional 30-60
seconds and then shut off. Any remaining water
can be removed with sponges, wet/dry vacuums,
mops, etc.
□ The pump will turn on again when water rises to
1-1/2 in.
WARNING: Do not allow the plug to fall in the water
and do not stand in the water or on a damp surface
while the pump is plugged in. Do not handle the
plugged-in pump with wet hands.
NOTE: The float switch is located in the cage on
the side of the pump. Keep this cage clean so the
float switch can operate properly.

Troubleshooting
CAUTION: SHUT OFF POWER TO THE PUMP.
Problem
Possible Cause
Corrective Action
The motor runs but no water
is discharged or flow rate is
lower than expected.
The intake screen or impeller is blocked.
Clean the intake screen and impeller.
There is an airlock in the discharge.
Clean the airlock release feature (see
label on base of pump). If not blocked,
slightly loosen the hose while pump is
running to release airlock.
The discharge hose is kinked, bent sharply
or coiled.
Straighten the hose.
The discharge hose/pipe goes up too high.
Every pump has a maximum “head”
capability, which is the highest it can lift
water. Do not route the discharge
hose/pipe higher than 28 ft.
The hose diameter is too narrow or the hose
is too long.
Use at least a 3/4 in. diameter hose and
use a hose that is shorter than 50 ft. in
length.
The extension cord is not providing
sufficient power.
Use a shorter, heavier gauge extension
cord, or when possible, plug the pump
directly into the power source.
The impeller is broken.
Call 1-844-251-7446 for a replacement.
The motor does not run or is
humming. The pump not
running.
Water is not high enough to activate the
float switch.
Water must be at least 1-1/2 in. high to
activate the float switch. Place pump in an
area with more water to activate the float
switch.
The float switch is blocked by debris.
Clean out the float switch cage so it can
operate freely.
The impeller is stuck or jammed with debris.
Inspect the impeller area for any debris
that may have entered. Remove as
needed. Make sure impeller rotates freely.
The pump is not getting any power.
□ Check the outlet where the pump is
plugged in. Make sure it has power. If
no power, check your home’s fuse or
circuit breaker panel and repair as
needed.
□ Ensure the pump’s plug is also making
good contact in the outlet.
□ Check to see if the GFCI outlet needs
to be reset.
The pump has overheated (thermal
overload).
Unplug the power and wait for 30 minutes,
then plug the power cord back in the
outlet.
The liquid temperature is below 32°F or
above 95°F.
Do not operate the pump in temperatures
as indicated.
The motor has failed.
If all items above check out OK, the motor
has failed. Replace the pump.
